Underglaze Painted Chinese Porcelain Rim Sherd

One very small Chinese-export porcelain rim sherd with a blue underglaze painted decoration on the interior. The interior also has a trace of overglaze enamels or gilding in an indeterminate color, but this decoration is only visible at a certain angle. The sherd is too small to determine the pattern.
